Jethro Tull ‘Stand Up’ Expanded

Jethro Tull's Too Old To Rock And Roll Too Young To Die reaches its 50th anniversary, revisiting one of the band's most conceptually ambitious and debated releases

Jethro Tull revisit one of the band's most debated periods with the release of Under Wraps: The Unwrapped Edition, a new 5CD and Blu-Ray collection bringing together the 1984 album Under Wraps and Ian Anderson's 1983 solo record Walk Into The Light.

Michael Timothy Abrahams, a formative figure in British blues rock and the original guitarist of Jethro Tull, died on 19 December 2025. He was 82.

Over the course of nearly six decades, Jethro Tull has journeyed through an ever-shifting soundscape, thanks largely to the creative restlessness of frontman Ian Anderson. According to the recent Noise11.com interview (recorded July 24, 2025), Tull has been remarkably prolific in recent years, releasing three studio albums—The Zealot Gene (2022), RökFlöte(2023), and Curious Ruminant (2025)—alongside the expansive box-set Still Living In The Past.

For decades Ian Anderson has driven his Jethro Tull lyrics to talk of religion and spiritualty, the human condition and philosophy, and that theme has continued on the three recent Jethro Tull album ‘The Zealot Gene’ (2022), ‘RökFlöte’ (2023) and ‘Curious Ruminant’ (2025).

Jethro Tull’s new album ‘Curious Ruminant’ as a curious diversion in the track ‘Over Jerusalem’. 3 minutes 17 seconds into the new song, it becomes ‘Thick As A Brick’.

Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson says his new album 'Curious Ruminant' is the most personal record he has ever made.
